What are mdmgen.PNF Error Messages?


mdmgen.PNF Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are BlackBerry Desktop Manager errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these PNF errors are triggered when mdmgen.PNF is attempted to be loaded either when BlackBerry Desktop Manager is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of PNF error you will encounter using BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

In most cases, mdmgen.PNF runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these mdmgen.PNF error messages mean that BlackBerry Desktop Manager was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, BlackBerry Desktop Manager will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common mdmgen.PNF errors include:

  • mdmgen.PNF - Bad Image.
  • mdmgen.PNF Application Error.
  • mdmgen.PNF could not be found.
  • mdmgen.PNF could not be installed.

System Error


The program can’t start because mdmgen.PNF is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the mdmgen.PNF error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these PNF errors affecting mdmgen.PNF will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using BlackBerry Desktop Manager 7.1.0 B39. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of BlackBerry, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of mdmgen.PNF errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying mdmgen.PNF to your appropriate Windows system directory. BlackBerry typically does not release BlackBerry Desktop Manager PNF files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing mdmgen.PNF and all other PNF files for BlackBerry Desktop Manager. An incorrectly installed PNF file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
